Lightweight wooden frames never looked so damn chic. Finlay & Co. eyewear is inspired by British design and heritage. Each pair is completely unique due to the diverse nature of the grain. The brand will be on exhibit at fashion week in New York, London and Paris this month. Consider my calendar marked!
It’s June. Hello! I was back on the road last week, visiting family in the South and hopping around the Midwest for work. Instagram is my go-to social media when I surrender to the inner Kerouac. If you were wondering what happened to JBD, just click right here my dears. The idea of shakin’ up my home address gets me going. Cindy walking […]
Mais oui, I have written about my favorite city many times. Along the way, I read a fantastic book which reminded me of French Yogurt Cake, an easy and pleasing dessert, oh my. Ingredients: 2 tubs plain whole-milk yogurt 2 eggs 1 or 2 tubs sugar (depending on how sweet you like it) 1 tsp vanilla essence Just […]
As a brown-eyed brunette gal, I’ve gravitated toward Cindy Crawford’s style since my tween years. Everything about her ’90s look inspired me way back when. To this day, I flip my locks far right for a sexy-I-am-loving-up-life coiffed pick me up. Run your fingers through your hair and throw it one way or the other. Images via Vogue Paris, […]
I’ve been jetsetting like it’s my job. Well, it is my job. It’s a creatively rewarding, out-of-the-ordinary, pinch-me-this-is-happening gig. And it is a ton of hard work. When I’m finally back in the Big Apple, I find myself craving quiet and calmness; no crowds, no noise, no smell on smell on smell on the subway. Oh to be back in the City […]
Way back when, Paris was the first city I stepped into outside of the United States. It’s been a love affair ever since. From the food and fashion to the architecture to the French way of life, I’ve written about my journeys back and forth to Paris here. It must have been a few years ago […]
In need of last-minute holiday gifts? Look no further as I introduce you to a Park Slope favorite of mine, Poppy. I discovered this boutique while on a mission for a classy-yet-sexy date dress. After finding the right frock, a friendship began with Poppy’s owner, Leslie McKeown. A creative force, Leslie immediately gave off a […]
Well…JBD recommends French Children Don’t Throw Food by Pamela Druckerman. Ms. Druckerman is hysterical, smart, full of wit and delight. This book throws the truth at Americans. How do you raise your children? How were you raised? The self-deprecating, effortless novel has solidified my desire to raise a child in Paris. While reading the tome, I recognized […]
Harper’s BAZAAR has been my favorite fashion magazine since I became a teenager. I think my Aunt Mary gave me my first copy (thanks!). I am still hooked and now thrilled to be a Style Ambassador via ShopBAZAAR.com and this little engine that could, JBD. Paris has been on my mind, as all of you […]
I was in Paris last week. It was magical. In the upcoming days, I will share some of mes vacances. Let us begin with the obvious. It’s extraordinary at first glance, no matter how many first glances one is granted in a lifetime. Image Credits: Jenny Graham
